<P><STRONG>Functional Details</STRONG>
<P>
This module differs from Collect, CollectNamed, CollectMultiGrid,
and CollectSeries, which create a new Group with the specified
Objects as members.
For example, if the input to the module is a series with four members,
the output will be a series with four &#43; <I>n</I> members,
where <I>n</I> is the number of objects specified.
<TABLE CELLPADDING="3">
<TR VALIGN="TOP"><TD><P><B><TT><STRONG>input</STRONG></TT>
</B></TD><TD><P>must be a Group.
The type of this Group determines the type of the output Group.
</TD></TR><TR VALIGN="TOP"><TD><P><B><TT><STRONG>object</STRONG></TT>

<TT><STRONG>input</STRONG></TT>.
</TD></TR><TR VALIGN="TOP"><TD><P><B><TT><STRONG>id</STRONG></TT>
</B></TD><TD><P>specifies additional information to be associated with the

Object.
For a named Group, this could be the name of the member.
For a Series, it is the series position value.
If <TT><STRONG>input</STRONG></TT> is a series, then
<TT><STRONG>id</STRONG></TT>
is a required parameter.
Otherwise, it is optional.
</TD></TR></TABLE>
A single Append module can specify a maximum of 21
<TT><STRONG>object</STRONG></TT>-<TT><STRONG>id</STRONG></TT>
pairs.
In the user interface, the default number of enabled parameter tabs is two.
(Tabs can be added to the module icon and removed with the appropriate
<TT><STRONG>...Input Tab</STRONG></TT> options in the
<TT><STRONG>Edit</STRONG></TT> pull-down menu of
the VPE.)
<P><STRONG>Components</STRONG>
<P>
All components are propagated to the output.
